The ioMemory SolutionFusion-io was founded in 2006 when its founders recognized that spinning disk-era storage could no longer keep up with modern data demands. With experience in transaction processing, high-performance networking, storage, superclusters, and computing and image processing, the Fusion-io management team recognized that mechanical disk-based storage architectures do not keep pace with advances in digital processing power. This meant that despite major advances in technology, even solid-state disks (SSDs) are limited by the access methods of legacy storage infrastructures. To overcome these limitations, Fusion ioMemory was architected as a high capacity, persistent memory platform for application acceleration.
